This comprehensive guide will walk you through the quick and straightforward process of removing Family Link from a Google account.

Getting Started with Family Link Removal

First, launch your favorite web browser and go to the Google Family Link portal by typing in families.google/familylink into the address bar. Alternatively, you can find this link in our article description. Sign in using the Google account that is connected to Family Link and from which you wish to remove a child account.

If you have multiple child accounts linked, a list will appear. Choose the specific child account you're aiming to unlink from Family Link.

Navigate to Account Settings

Once inside the child's account dashboard, head over to "Settings."

Removing a Family Link Member

In the "Settings" menu, look for the option labeled "Account Info" and click on it. This will open up an expanded menu where you'll find the "Remove Member" option. Clicking this will initiate the process to unlink the selected Google account from Family Link.

Confirming the Removal and Providing Feedback

A prompt will appear on your screen asking for confirmation. This is your last chance to ensure you want to proceed with unlinking the child's account from the Family Link service. Hit "Confirm" to move ahead.

You may also encounter an optional feedback section. If you wish, share your reasons for removing the child account. This can help Google improve Family Link's user experience.

Final Confirmation

Once you've confirmed the action, a notification will pop up on your screen. This message serves as your final confirmation that the child's account has been successfully unlinked from Google's Family Link service.
